Are you sure about this? I interpreted the manual to believe it plugs into the expansion header on a near dead Falcon and provides some basics to get a minimal boot and give some low level info to get out of the dark. If this is the one from BeST, then I will definitely buy one. Screen Shot 2020-04-...

Hi all.

He replaced almost every single IC on that bo...

AUD $21.20 for economy, $28.20 for tracked. :( Unless you can somehow convince them it's a letter. EDIT: You probably could convince them it's a letter! For $7, Max weight is 125g and up to 20mm thickness. If you can get it down to 50g it's only $3! :thumbup: They all got sent as letters. I did hav...
